Hollywood Road

Chapter 16: Talent is worthless here

For the Los Angeles Police Department, one hundred thousand dollars is not a big number, but just like Murphy thought, it is not a simple thing to get the one hundred thousand dollars smoothly, especially the person who offered the reward is still he.

However, Murphy has alarm recordings in his hands, and Channel Six is ​​ready to report that the government has once again broken the trust. Coupled with Robert, this can be raked out of the lawsuit stick, the Los Angeles police have been shirking for a while, and they have been After Channel Six News bombed the lack of credibility, the money was eventually transferred to Murphy's bank account.

Similarly, the LAPD's perception of Murphy has become worse. Even when he was driving out, he was intercepted by police cars several times. He used some bad excuses for suspecting illegal possession of guns and carrying drugs. Unfortunately, , They are doomed to get nothing.

In addition, in the name of assisting in the investigation, they invited Murphy to the police station several times, but he was accompanied by a lawyer, and the police, who lacked sufficient evidence, could only watch how he walked in and walked out.

Murphy knows very well that he is now a member of the Los Angeles police blacklist. He pays great attention to observing the law, such as guns and drugs, which Americans often touch. He hides all of them and never gives the police any reason or reason. Excuses.

He also bought the latest Sony mini-camera, which can shoot at any time, so as to prevent the police from planting and framing.

In addition, Murphy’s normal work has always been in progress. California media, led by Channel 6 and Fox Television Network, have carried out overwhelming reports on the gun battle. Such a real scene of the gun battle was only a few years old. You can imagine the response of the North Hollywood robbery.

Moreover, TV stations will not be willing to just sum up this as a simple gun battle between police and robbers. In numerous reports, blacks who do not have the conditions to resist have been shot and killed by white policemen. In addition, there have been several incidents of white police arresting black people at will. Eventually, there was a small black protest in Los Angeles.

It has to be said that due to many reasons left over from history, black people are born with a fragile glass heart.

In front of the Los Angeles City Hall and the Los Angeles County Police Department, there have been several large-scale black protests, and the scenes were tense and even on the verge of breaking out.

Such activities are naturally what the media like to see. They report and disseminate in various ways to attract more people's attention.

Not only that, Murphy shot a large amount of material and prepared to participate in Channel Six's documentary project to produce a documentary reflecting the public security situation in Los Angeles.

Of course, he is more just participating.

In this documentary about violent crime, Los Angeles is definitely not a prosperous city of angels, but a sin city full of violence, drugs, car accidents, and other crimes!

Also, under the intervention of Fox Television Network, the police did not obtain the court's prohibition order for the two videos that Murphy shot.

"It looks like you've been mixing pretty well recently,"

In a restaurant in Los Angeles Chinatown, Rose drank a sip of beer and looked at Murphy opposite, "At least it's better than I thought."

Murphy also took a sip of beer, "It's just luck."

"It's not luck." Rose waved his big tattooed hand. "It has always been your advantage to dare to think and do it, and you made the Los Angeles police a clown this time."

Although Murphy talked about these things to him in one stroke, and didn't mention the hands and feet he did, but Rose could still guess that his friend must have used some ugly tricks in it.

"You can't say that." Murphy shrugged. "I just happened to meet him. I have always been a good citizen of Los Angeles."

There is no need to worry about anything between Rose and Murphy, and they relentlessly ridiculed, "Will a good citizen beat a British director to the head?"

Murphy couldn't help but patted the table and emphasized, "That was an accidental injury! Besides, it was only a minor injury at the time. The problem with his head was half a year after I went to jail. It has nothing to do with me at all!"

"You ruined people's career as a director." Rose still didn't let him go. "Poor British guy."

What is the name of the director who left behind the sequelae? Murphy thought for a while, vaguely remembering that someone called him Chris or Kloss or something.

There are not many people in the restaurant, and Murphy and Rose are also sitting relatively close to the corner, speaking unscrupulously.

"What are you going to do next?"

After a few jokes, Rose gradually turned to the topic, "Are you going to enter Hollywood? I think you are doing very well now."

Murphy put down his knife and fork, and asked, "Why not? I'm going to participate in a documentary on Channel 6 to accumulate some experience. When the documentary is completed, I will shoot the movie."

Rose looked disdainful, curled his lips, and said in a sullen voice, "It takes a lot of money to make a movie. Do you have that much money?"

"Hey, can you stop hitting me?" Murphy pointed at him dissatisfiedly, and said in a bragging tone, "I just made two hundred and thirty thousand dollars!"

"A lot? Are you sure that the two hundred and thirty thousand dollars are yours?"

From the outside, Rose looks a lot like the simple-minded Latino who can only fight and kill, but he is very careful, otherwise he would not be able to occupy a large piece of cake in the underground market in downtown Los Angeles.

He raised his finger, "I'll do the math for you, innocent Mr. Murphy Stanton. If you want to enter the film industry, it means that you must abide by the rules of the game set by the government. Then your $230,000 will be a big one. Give the pen to the tax bureau, and your lawyers need to draw money, and you need to go to the trade union of the relevant industry for filing. How much will be left in the end, are you sure you can make a real movie?"

Looking at Murphy, his eyes suddenly widened, "You don't want to shoot tens of thousands of dollars in garbage."

"Of course not!" Murphy raised her voice slightly, "I want to shoot real movies, not cheap stuff."

Rose shook his head, "You still need money."

Murphy rewarded him with a pair of white eyes, "Nonsense, if you don't have a lot of money, how can you make a movie?"

Filming is a future plan. Murphy is now preparing to participate in the production of Channel 6 documentary. This occasional documentary on violent crimes is not intended to be filmed, but will use many of the previous broadcasts on Channel 6 Material, quite a lot of videos he shot have also entered the ranks of candidates.

It is difficult to say how much income these can bring, but Murphy is interested in participating in this project and accumulating practical experience for himself.

The two parties talked about their own future issues, and Rose suddenly lowered his voice, "I have seen the images of the two black men in the newspaper. I have seen them long ago."

Murphy couldn't help but be astonished. "Do you know them?"

"It's not just them," Rose tried to remember, "The male owner of the house where Bill Road was destroyed, I should have seen it before."

"Oh?" Murphy looked at Rose, waiting for his next words.

Rose got closer here, and lowered his voice again, "It may be that the two black criminals have died, and the Bill Road family was also destroyed. The police did not find more useful clues. In fact, they should be engaged in An industry similar to mine."

Similar industries? Murphy was taken aback for a moment, and then he wanted to understand that Rose’s main business is *** and illegal firearms.

Murphy's head turned very fast, "Is it possible that this is due to the conflict caused by the drug dispute?"

"It's possible." Rose shrugged. "They are all dead, who knows."

He stood up, "It's getting late, I should go back, there is a party in the evening, shall we?"

Murphy looked at the watch, shook his head and said, "No, I also have a party tonight. The news director of Channel 6 wants to take me to a high-end party. It is said that many stars will also attend."

On the way home, Murphy bought a suit. In the evening, Carla Faith will take him to a party in the media and film and sports circles. There will be many celebrities in the film and sports circles.

For Murphy, who is longing for Hollywood, he will certainly not miss such an opportunity.

When I got home, I hung up a phone call to Cara and agreed on the time and place to meet. Murphy returned to the workroom and continued busy with her screenwriting work. When she got tired, she turned out the videos she shot and took them according to her own ideas. Editing together, Quandang is practicing.

No matter how great directors need opportunities, they need more training before they succeed. Even recognized film geniuses like James Cameron and Steven Spielberg are no exception.

Despite her self-confidence, Murphy does not consider herself to be a super genius like the first two, and understands the simple truth that hard work will be rewarded.

Is it possible to live a heavy life once, without much effort, and to shoot a movie easily? I've seen a movie and made this movie, and there is more than two Pacific Oceans between them.

Besides, genius... Hollywood has never lacked film genius.

As for the idea that Hollywood will swarm to write a few scripts, Murphy has already completely thrown it behind his head. He has delivered a total of two scripts to Hollywood's famous production companies or studios. So far, there has been no response. I called to consult, and the other party heard that he was just a newcomer screenwriter, and all he said were routine dealings.

"Talent, without a chance, talent is worthless here!"

After finishing the editing of the two shots, Murphy sighed. Before coming here, he was a naive student. Like many people, he believed that as long as he was talented, he would be able to get ahead and be appreciated by the big shots.

It's just that more than a year of hard work made him understand that this kind of thinking is really naive.

The sun outside the window gradually turned to the west, Murphy put aside his work, put on his newly bought suit, and prepared to meet Carla Faith to see if he could meet familiar characters at the so-called high-end party.
